Hello, I’m Wes.
Thanks for stopping by.
This is my personal blog. Most of what I write here is about Product, Startups, Leadership, Coaching, Personal Effectiveness, and observations about life.
If you’re interested in knowing where I’m coming from, here’s a bit of info about me.
As a strategy consultant, I help high-tech companies win in the marketplace. As an executive coach, I help professionals who seek to lead at higher levels succeed at work and in life.
I’ve held leadership positions in Product Leadership, Product Management, Experience Design, and Operations in organizations whose stages range from pre-seed to Fortune 5 public companies.
If you’d like to get in touch, you can find me here on LinkedIn.
